Which Board Game Has 24 Triangular Points? The Answer is Backgammon

The game you are describing is Backgammon.

The Backgammon board consists of 24 narrow triangles called points (or pips), arranged in four quadrants of six points each. The triangles alternate in color (traditionally light/dark or brown/cream).

Key Features:

  • 15 Checkers per Player: Moved according to dice rolls.
  • Doubling Cube: Optional tracking of stakes.
  • Bar: The central ridge where hit checkers are placed.
  • Objective: Move all 15 checkers into your home board and then bear them off before your opponent.

Common Confusion:

Trivial Pursuit uses a circular wheel-shaped board with wedge-shaped spaces (not triangular points) and pie-piece tokens. Chinese Checkers uses a star-shaped board with holes (not triangles). Backgammon is the classic game defined by its 24 triangular points.
